Be ready for American Truck Simulator Multiplayer

We are pleased to announce that we are officially planning to integrate our multiplayer features to American Truck Simulator!

This will not be a quick endeavor, however. We will need to work on preparing code changes between the two games and adapt the multiplayer mod to function with ATS. One problem we must face first is the fact that the ATS game will only be released as a 64bit game. At the time of writing, the ETS2MP code is only supported with the 32bit version of ETS2. As Such, we will be starting to port over ETS2MP to be 64bit ONLY. In order for us to do this, we need to completely switch over to 64bit for the client, and sadly abandon support for 32bit as it will be quite literally double the work to keep both 32 an 64bit updated, not to mention across 2 games (ETS2 and soon ATS)!

Sometime (hopefully soon) 1.22s will be ready for ETS2MP and will be released as 32bit. After this time, we will begin to port our mod over to 64bit while we await the release of ATS. Once we have a 64bit candidate ready, we will offer this as a download. The 64bit client may be unstable, but we urge players to utilize this version of the client so we can ensure we have the background codebase ready for ATS. After ATS is released, we will be working to get Multiplayer released. In the meantime, if any patches come out for ETS2, we will only be providing updates to the 64bit version of the game.

We fully understand this may be a very big disappointment for our players who are not on a 64bit opertating systems, however in order for us to move forward with ATS and better ETS2MP features, we must choose now.
